Weepul Bento

I was looking at Bentovention’s site the other day and noticed that her Makkuro Kurosuke (Susuwatari) bento characters reminded me of those Weepul pom-pom stickers that you used to see everywhere in the 80’s.

Weepuls

So I thought I would make my own “Weepul sticker” out of rice and cheese! I coloured the rice purple by mixing red and blue food colouring, made the eyes from some egg white and used a hole punch on the Nori seaweed for the pupils. The cheese letters for “Have a nice lunch” were cut free hand using my pergamano needle pen. You can learn how I do my cheese colouring on my Cheese Food Colouring Bento Tutorial

This was fun and simple to do and although it’s not really a full bento today, it’s still a nice Sandwich Topper decoration to brighten up lunch! I have put this on “What’s for Lunch Wednesday” – Go have a look it’s like a bento party where you can show off your Wednesday Bento!

Did you know? I love puzzles! I love rubiks cubes, logic problems, jigsaws etc. I also love Moroccan Tilework which is called “Zelij” or (Zellij / Zellig / Zellige).  I wanted to try and do some kind of swirly mosaic and was entranced by this “How to draw Zellij” Tutorial

I ended up reading about Wang tiles / Wang Dominoes and aperiodic tiling, Penrose tiles and Quasicrystals…!

To keep things simple, I decided to go with these Penrose Tiles to make a “tile and dart” design, from coloured cheese. It was only to experiment and play really, but I ended up making it into a Bento by adding some of the home made pizza and Ginger and Choc Chip cookies (from my trusty Be-Ro recipe Book!) that I had made previously the same day.

Happy Anti-Procrastination Day! Here is the special pen I use to cut my cheese:

manga anime bento

This is from weeks ago – must have forgotten to click “published” as I found it in my drafts… weird

I’ve been a fan of the manga / anime style for a few years. I learnt how to draw a basic manga face from a “How to Draw Manga” book, a few years ago. I haven’t drawn or sketched in a long time, but I decided to see if I could refresh my memory and make a Manga style cartoon character out of cheese for my bento. So I had some fun this afternoon, with my parchment pergamano perforating pen, and of course lashings of food colouring. I made a caulifower in cheese sauce to sit at the right hand side in a scooped out green pepper (not having any lettuce again, and having run out of broccoli… sigh! ) Then there was not much room for much fruit, just a few apple segments. Today nothing went right really, because the dishwasher wouldn’t work – Put it on last night but it just sat there defiantly refusing to wash the pots, so this morning I had to either wash everything by hand (not my style!) or wait for it to get fixed…so the pots are still waiting to be rescued from their filthy state, and I have to keep going in there to get a spoon or plate or whatever to wash it by hand… I suppose I will have to eventually get the whole lot out and do it. Can’t someone else do it?! And then my camera kept taking fuzzy/blurry pics… yeah I know a bad workman blames his tools…but I can’t understand why I have been able to get crisp photos in the past and now I can’t. Winge over! I must remember to be grateful that I have the priviledge of hot running water, a luxury that I often take for granted. In some countries, they have to wash their pots using water pumped from a well, if they even have access to water that is. It makes you wonder doesn’t it? Maybe I WILL go and wash those pots now and stop being so ungrateful!

Lion and Kawaii Mushroom Bento

I have 3 boxes that I use for Bento making, but 1 is currently with a friend and the other 2 have disappeared. But I found a small container and thought I would give it a try, thinking it would make a cute snack bento. It is only 0.3l ! It just fits in my hand! So I started by lining it with lettuce – I only needed to use a couple of leaves! Then I put a rice onigiri mushroom in, using a tube of apple for the stalk, a ball of tuna mayo for the lion’s head and chicken cocktail sausages for the mane and hearts. I used apple and carrots for decoration. The faces are Nori, cut with my best bento tool, a pergamano needle pen! You can get an idea about the relative size of this bento from the apple!

This bento is a Guest Post from Mombento on Livejournal.

I wanted to do another spring themed bento, because the weather is so very lovely here in the Netherlands at the moment. It’s a dinner bento because tomorrow me and my little girl go to a birthday party in the afternoon and I probably won’t have too much time to cook. So this bento is for my five year old and she’ll be having it for tea.

Hapbee Bento

I made some lovely vegetable and tofu curry, which tastes great but didn’t look pretty enough for bento. So I put it under a thin layer of jasmine rice. I lined the box with lettuce, carrots and radishes. The happy bee is made of two coloured egg sheets and nori. The nori was so hard to put on the egg. For some reason it kept curling up… I made eggs with flower shaped yolks with my favourite kitchen tool: the “dreamland egg shaper”. This is a shaper that can turn the yolk of hard boiled eggs into the shape of diamonds, hearts, flowers and stars. I love it. But: cleaning the thing is a lot of work. A LOT of work.

dreamland egg shaper

My husband doesn’t understand that I spend over an hour boiling eggs. He certainly has a point there but……..well bento-ing isn’t about time saving, is it?

I'm a little teapot, short and stout!

Today is my last full day at home before I whisk my kids off to England for a week to see their grandparents!

Of course I can’t wait to be there, but the journey is usually a nightmare. This time however, I am looking forward to seeing how the Trunki works out for us.

The Trunki is this fantastic Ride on/pull along Suitcase for toddlers and small kids. (3 different colours available here)  And it has these horns that they grab on to for handles and push it along with their feet. The strap

trunki

comes off and you can pull them on it too, or you can pick it up and wear it like a satchel, or they can! This is suitable in size for hand-luggage too, so the lucky kid (in my case my 2.5 year old! The one I always refer to a toddler who is fast becoming a boy, sniff sniff, I can’t call him my toddler any longer really. In fact my baby is not really a baby any more – he’s already 13 months now so really he should be the one I refer to as the toddler!) gets to keep all his toys, games,

home made hand made sock bunny

colouring in book and comfort bunny for the whole journey!

Well anyway, sorry about that confusing side note interrupting there! Back to the bento blog!

Recently we have been watching some fun YouTube music videos for kids and this one caught my eye as something cute and cheerful that could be “bentofied”!

The children’s nursery rhyme goes like this:

I’m a little teapot, short and stout

Here’s my handle, here’s my spout!

When I see the tea-cups,

Hear me shout -

“Tip me over and pour me out!”

I made the teapot out of a big onigiri pressed rice ball, and the spout, handle and lid from cheese. I forgot to put the lid on, but if I’d put it on it probably would have fallen off anyway, because (and I should know this by now!) trying to get things to stick on the curved surface of the 3d rice ball is often disastrous for me! It is much easier to make the ball then flatten it down so you have a nice flat surface or “canvas” to work on. Well anyway I managed to get the spout and mouth to stick on with a bit of mayonnaise “glue”!

Close up teapot and cup

The cup is a strawberry hollowed out and filled with yogurt, which kinda makes me feel all gooey inside!In fact it makes me want to make a whole tea set from strawberries, cherries and other sweet kawaii fruits!

This really did not take long to do, despite trying to cut cheese while suffering a bout of the hiccups! I made the little strawberry cup while the rice was cooking, and prepared the tuna fish and mayo, and lined the bento box with salad, all while the rice was cooking. I am using another new type of lettuce today – this kind had black tinged leaves… what do you think to it? I have never seen this kind before!

Seeing as I will not be around to make bento, I am so excited to announce that have invited some of my fellow bento friends from the online bento making community to make a Guest Post here every so often while I am gone. So please don’t forget to come back (subscribe now before you forget!) and please welcome the mystery Guests of Honour on the Bento Box Blog page! Watch this Space!

snails with sunglasses bento

Today’s bento was quite a quick one with no planning really – I just had to make some lunch and found some large pasta snail shells (lumaconi) in my cupboard that I thought would be tasty with tuna and sweetcorn mayonnaise. So I made them into snails with sunglasses on (nori stars) and cucumber bodies. Here they are munching on the carrots, turning them into flowers.  Sorry about the photo, it came out a bit blurry today!

ET Bento

Today’s bento, also in the category of Sci Fi / Aliens / Paranormal is ET! He is made from cheese and placed on nori on top of a  pressed rice disc. This is on top of tuna and sweetcorn mayonnaise. I used a long piece of cucumber as a baran divider, which is topped with egg white dots.

The other side contains some marbled rice balls as planets which I made by adding a drop of food colouring to the white rice before molding then into shape in cling film.  There are some carrot space ships on the food pick and a cucumber fan, a boiled egg and some lettuce as further decoration. The ET sign/logo is cheese on red pepper.

I have a new way to cut cheese! I used a parchmenting perforating needle pen, from the days when I used to do Pergamano! I actually was never much good at doing the pergamano but the perforating pen had been knocking around in various pencil case and is one of the things I am forever confiscating from my toddler who likes to climb up and get into my craft supplies! So now this item will go into my bento tools! It works like a dream for doing finely cut letters / shapes! Thanks to Pikko from Adventures in Bentomaking who showed how to cut cheese precisely with a toothpick – this is a version of this, just with a finer cutting point. Pikko also gave me the idea to be able to cut the nori very finely with micro-tip scissors or her latest LOST bento.

I am jealous of people who already own the Nori punches, as I am forever wanting to cut tiny dots for the pupils of eyes etc, but now I have found that by using this perforating needle pen carefully, I can also cut out a circle from nori! So until I get round to ordering the nori face punches, I will be content to use this new Pikko cheese cutting method adapted for nori too!

Alien bento

Today’s bento is part of the Aliens / UFOs / paranormal / Sc-Fi theme. It contains a “Grey” alien made from pressed rice (not grey as in the colour, rather “Grey” as in the type of alien) a rice kawaii mushroom, a carrot and egg kawaii mushroom on a circle of pressed rice and nori, a Surimi fishstick on a food pick, a rice “baran” border with nori stars, an egg and nori “planet” and a spiral cut mini orange with some morello cherries and banana in the fruit section. I also used some pieces of red pepper for added colour and decoration. Underneath the carrot mushroom on the Onigiri circle is egg mayo with carrot mixed in, which is a new discovery – I made this the other day with some other left over bento food, and it was totally delicious. The carrot gives a wonderful crunch to the creamy egg.

This took ages to make (about 1 hour 45) but that includes a kitchen clean up too.

I can’t wait to share this with my toddler at lunch time tomorrow!

Spring alien bento

One of my baby’s toys has a little dinosaur hatching out of an egg, and it gave me an idea to make a little creature hatching out of an egg. Well it is the first day of Spring today after all! It ended up looking like an alien so I decided to make the scenery a bit like an alien planet!

The alien is a couple of cherry tomatoes with a nori face, and he is sitting in a hollowed out boiled egg.  The Antennae or feelers are food picks which actually go right through his head and body to keep the 2 secured together. I used an icing piping bag to get the rice into the cone shape – I have run out of cling film (saran wrap) so I had to find an alternative way of shaping the rice into a compressed shape! I thought it would look good as part of the alien planet scenery. I wish now that I had thought to put some little spots on it to make it a bit more kawaii and decorative! I think I will try doing that another day, as I really like this shape – seems quite unusual.  The ground is grated cheese with blue food colouring and the rest is banana, baby orange, more tomatoes and cucumber.

I managed to get some height with the cucumbers at the right hand side by cutting a line along the radius of each cucumber circle then folding them round into a cone shape and securing it on a food pick. I did this with 3 of them.

I am going to start putting a watermark or id on my images like a lot of other Bento-ists are doing. Does anyone have any tips for doing this? The way I found is by using Irfanview, clicking on Batch, then Advanced, Add Overlay Text, then Settings. (You can download Irfanview for free from here.)

I really love the way the watermark has been done on this Giraffe bento by Bentolicious. I haven’t figured out how she did this yet, but I am guessing it was done with something more sophisticated that Microsoft Paint which is what I used to put my title on! If you are reading, Lia, how did you do it?!

Reading this article on Biggie’s site, Lunchinabox.net entitled “Know your worth” prompted me to get my images watermarked, as this article points out the risks of your images being used without giving you credit for it. An interesting read which also discusses what to do if you are approached by someone who wants to use your recipes or photos to compile a book, without being sold short. So special thanks to Biggie for sharing this important info.

Have a great weekend Folks!

jimbo bento

Today’s Bento is Jimbo from Jimbo and the Jet Set, and completes my 80’s cartoon characters Bento theme week. He is made from cheese, boiled egg, Nori and food colouring. Special thanks to Pikko from Adventures in Bentomaking for uploading her brand new video showing how to cut cheese with a cocktail stick and using templates. Now I just need to find a good way to cut boiled egg! All the sides went raggedy!

I forgot to put Jimbo’s feet on! If you look at the original image he is supposed to have 2 big round white feet, but by the time I realised, I’d given up trying cut any more egg white, it was just not happening for me today!

The Jimbo cheese character is on top of a pressed circle of plain rice, which will go very nicely with the bolognaise sauce in the separate dish.  The sauce is from yesterday evening’s “Tapsi”, an Iraqi dish similar to bolognaise sauce with added fried aubergines and fried potato slices, eaten with rice either mixed in or separate. It’s very delicious and one of my favorite foods of all time along with Moroccan Lamb with prunes, Cauliflower Cheese and Fish and Chips. Not all at the same time LOL

From Wikipedia: “Jimbo and the Jet Set (often shortened to simply Jimbo) is a British animated cartoon series broadcast in the 1980s, featuring the adventures of the eponymous Jimbo, a talking aeroplane. Created by Maddocks Cartoon Productions, it originally ran for 25 episodes between 1985 and 1986.” See the whole Wikipedia entry here.

Disclaimer: I do not own any images of Jimbo and the Jet Set. The work here that is my own is the cutting of the cheese, egg and Nori and the cooking of the egg, rice and brocolli. No copyright infringement intended in any way whatsoever. This Bento was made for fun.

care bear bento

I’m picking up the 80’s cartoon character theme again, but tying it in with St Patrick’s Day, with a Good Luck Care Bear!

Care Bears were among my favourite cartoons/toys as a kid, along with My Little Pony. I used to have a ceramic pomander of Cheer Bear (the one with the rainbow on his tummy) on my dressing table. I wonder what ever happened to him. I can almost remember the exact smell of the Pot Pourri inside!

Good Luck Bear has a Shamrock on his tummy and seeing as I didn’t get to do any shamrocks yesterday because I was rushing around and ran out of time, I thought it would be a good one to do. It was especially nice this evening to have a stress free creative evening playing with the food and cutters.

I had some green rice left over from yesterday so I used that as a background for the Care Bear and bordered it with spinach. The Care Bear is made out of Cucumber. Special thanks to Bentolicious for showing us we can use cucumber skin effectively to make shapes as seen on this very cute froggies bento as I hadn’t considered using cucumber in this way before!

His tummy, muzzle and eyes are egg white with nori detail.  The rest of the bento is made up of Surimi crabsticks, fashioned into a chequerboard style, pasta and sweetcorn, egg, carrots, cucumber. To finish, pineapple on food picks and apple flowers.

I used this image here on stampaffair.com

From Wikipedia: “Care Bears are a set of characters created by American Greetings in 1981 for use on greeting cards. The original artwork for the cards was painted by artist Elena Kucharik. The Care Bears appeared in their own television series from 1985 to 1988, in addition to three feature films: The Care Bears Movie (1985), Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation (1986), and The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland (1987).” See the full wikipedia entry here

I remember going to see “The Care Bears Movie”! I must have been about 5 or 6 years old! Now I really am showing my age LOL

octopus bento

Today’s bento is an octopus in an “under the sea” type environment! There are 3 little fishies made out of pressed rice and they have carrot tails. The octopus is made out of a boiled egg and cheese slices cut into strips to make the legs. Now don’t start hating on me just because the octpus has 6 legs instead of 8! I did make 8 but a certain toddler/helper decided to eat 2 of the legs! I am surprised this bento survived to the photo shoot, seeing as he was everywhere today! He did a great job with the egg slicer. He even sliced up one of the rice fishies in it! The next thing I hear is “broke it mama, broke it!” The egg slicer had come off at the hinge. It’s nothing that will not fix! I dyed the rice blue for the sea and then, horrified to find that I have absolutely no greenery in the house, no cucumber, no lettuce, no green pepper, I had to resort to using grated cheese dyed green for the underwater plants. I experimented with melting some cheese in the microwave to make the octopus legs, and then put it into a piping bag. But my piping bags are disposable thin plastic bag ones and the cheese was so hot that it melted the bag! So I had to give up on that idea! It would be cool to try with a fabric piping bag to see what results you can get from piped cheese.   I’m glad I boiled 2 eggs because peeling the shell off has never been something I was any good at! The egg always gets broken up somehow. The 2nd egg seemed to peel a lot better. I think letting them cool right down might help. Tips and advice on peeling eggs welcome please!

tuna sushi rolls

I have been looking at Youtube videos – How to make California Rolls and Tiger Rolls and other related videos. I thought, hey, why not give it a shot? I don’t have any Nori (Sheets of dried/toasted seaweed) I don’t have any cucumber or avacado, I don’t even have any spring onion. I don’t have any Red Caviar or wasabi or japanese pickled ginger… I don’t even have any proper sushi rice… I certainly don’t have any raw fish in the house – The shops are all shut cos it’s Sunday, What was I thinking?!?!?

I don’t even have a bamboo mat for doing the rolling!!!

But I’m impatient and willing to look for a workaround… So I boiled up some of the basmati rice, and got a H&M carrier bag and covered it in cling film. I opened a can of tuna and my toddler helped mix mayonnaise into it. I DID buy a jar of red pepper puree last week -  I think the photo is on my Flickr account, so i thought I would try spreading that on, to get a nice bright dash of red. I used a Leek instead of cucumber or spring onion and I chopped a carrot lengthways. These along with the tuna mayo were my filling, and the red pepper paste was spread on the leek.  Then I rolled it up using my “H&M” carrier bag sushi folding mat LOL and compressed it further with my hands along the roll. Then I sprinkled sesame seeds all over it. Cutting it was the tough part. The worst part. the part that made it break into a thousand pieces. The rice was still hot though so I thought that was probably a mistake and also I didn’t compress the rice into a ball before spreading it on the H&M board.

Sushi Plate

BUT WHEN I TASTED the ruins of my masterpiece i thought WOW this has got to be the best thing I have ever tasted!!!

So I decided to have another go, this time, the rice was cooler and i compressed it first before spreading on the sushi board. It went a lot better this time and although it still broke up in a few places when I tried to cut it, I did mange to get 4 out of the 7 pieces to be salvage worthy!  The end bit was kind of cool too- A bit like the Tiger Roll with all bits sticking out of the end, looked quite fancy so i left it as a long bit for the sushi plate, which I finished off with a couple of baby sweetcorns and a blob of the red pepper which was a very very interesting flavour – almost a replacement for the pickled ginger!

Then the “ruins” got turned into balls and coated in sesame seeds. Waste not want not, right?! And then I got an idea

Poor mans Furikake snowman

because I saw the balls were small, medium and large. And then I thought I could make a snowman. I dunno I must be high today. But anyway I stuck some food picks in to try to get them to stack up on top of each other but they were starting to break up and kept falling down, so I had to leave him on his side. He got apple cores for arm, and my toddler helped to cut a triangle nose out of the carrot. and then we put 2 little cake deco balls on for eyes.

So there you have it, classy posh japanese art form inspires a fun activity morning for mum and toddler with tasty results! Not bad considering we just used ingredients we had on hand!

Love Bento

Today’s bento features 2 little white bear characters and a love heart, all made out of rice with a tomato heart over the rice heart, and the bears’ noses are made out of sweetcorn, which I had to rescue from the kitchen sink after my toddler poured the full dish of it in there. Yeah nice!The bow is made from tomato skin and the eyes on the girl bear are sultanas and the eyes on the boy bear are cake decorations – call me a cheat, I had fiddled with cutting up sultanas for far too long and they kept sticking to my gloves (I have to wear cotton gloves and latex free gloves due to skin allergies when I come into contact with certain foods)

Then I got a fork shaped cookie cutter to make the feet out of carrot slices, so the bear characters have night bright weird shaped feet – like ducks’ webbed feet, so this technique could be used if I ever want to do a duck bento!

All this was on a bed of iceberg lettuce (healthy or what today?!?!) And the 2 yellow stars are cookie-cuttered out of omelette. I had tried getting nice egg monkeys from a jungle play doh set by pouring egg white into the play doh mould and microwaving it, but it was rather a disaster… But fun to mess with and at least I know what doesn’t work! I think I’ll leave the monkeys for my toddler – he seems to have much more success with it than I did!

I also tried poaching an egg into a bear shape but it just all fell to bits – think I should have buttered the poaching cup first… Ah well it still tasted nice!

So I am thinking now that I should invest in some proper Bento Tools (like this Bento Tool Box Set), a Rice Mold in various shapes and some nice little cutters to do carrot stars.

So that was my hour of fun today! Looking forward to seeing the other bentos on twitter later today!

Barney Bento

His claws fell off LOL!

This is called “Bento Barney AKA “E Numbers surprise!”

There is only food colouring in the rice and on a bit of the cheese, (oh and on the apple to make the kawaii mushroom!) but the rest is all natural stuff – sultanas, cherries, carrot, cheese, orange and apple.

This was fun to make but from making it to eating it took about 1 hour, inc cleaning the kitchen up.

I’m quite keen not to waste food, so all the little scraps of cheese and apple and carrot have to be eaten (by me as I’m preparing the bento) – I cannot bring myself to throw good food away! This was a delicious Bento, especially with a drizzle of light soy sauce… even my toddler thought so! He loved the cherry and orange skewer too!

Fishfinger bento

To make this I boiled up some mini pasta stars (how cute are they?!) And fried up a couple of fishfingers (fishsticks). I cooked broccoli with the pasta stars and a few slices of courgette (Zucchini) with the fish sticks. While that was cooking, I cut a slice of cheese with the teddy bear cutter, heart cutter, flower cutter and fan cutter. (For shape cutters click here.) I used the teddy bear cutter on the raw carrot and made orange comet shapes by using the hands of the lizard cutter. I cut a slice of bread with the top end of the fork shaped cutter to make some white tulips. Then i arranged it and added faces with Tomato Ketchup and put a blob of it in the corner.

Voila : A Fishfinger Bento fit for a prince (my toddler!) This one was one of the more successful bentos, here he ate most of it!

Midnight Bento Snack

This is addictive! It is midnight and I felt the urge to do another bento! Here is my midnight snack! It is apple, banana and strawberry yogurt!
